Quantitative and Qualitative Research
Our research teams will deliver best–in–class qualitative and quantitative research solutions by designing, managing and executing studies that identify business problems, and provide creative and unique solutions.
Quantitative Research
Quantitative market research studies are designed to assess buyer attitudes and behaviors. This information can be used for market sizing, market segmentation, and uncovering "drivers" for brand and product preference. CBA has internal online survey capability and will work with several strategic partners around the country to conduct all types of quantitative research. Popular methods for conducting a quantitative market survey include personal interviews, online surveys, and mail and phone surveys.
Qualitative Research
Do you want to take a deeper look into an issue? Qualitative market research is primarily used as an exploratory and developmental market research method. CBA's trained associates will conduct focus groups, in–depth interviews, one–on–one interviews, and related qualitative market research projections for consumer products and business to business clients. We will design qualitative research to address your company's needs. CBA can handle all aspects of research including obtaining moderators, securing facilities and providing final reports.

Brand Positioning
Brand Positioning – This research will help your company determine and develop a brand name or image that is easy to recognize and stands out from the competition. Brand positioning will help the company maintain focus on one of its most important assets, its customers. A strong brand will keep your company top of mind, especially in a time when economic conditions are uncertain and consumer spending is tightening.
Branding will help guide potential customers to your product. When you provide a consumer with logos and words with which they've previously made an emotional connection, you increase the likelihood that they will continue to seek out your product in the future.
SNiQR™
With customers producing an infinite amount of qualitative data on the internet at an unimaginable rate, CBA offers an innovative approach to collecting this data from social networks and translating it into actionable, quantitative insights. Our process, SNiQR™ (Social Networks Innovative Quantitative Research), includes taking a client’s key business objectives to develop a research guide, much like a focus group moderator’s guide, which directs our investigative efforts.
Over a set timeframe, text is then collected into a data file and run through an iterative text analysis process, much like open-ended responses from a survey. In this process, text is extracted and categorized based on a variety of linguistic rules. The process itself is iterative, as it is being continuously refined to adapt for new synonyms and misspellings. All coding frames are finalized by an analyst, not software.
This process allows us to take real-time data from customers as they post on social networks, blogs and news sites and turn it into actionable insights for our clients.
